At the end of an…eventful day in Ontario politics, Premier Ford appears in a video alongside Democratic Governor (and fervent Trump critic) Gavin Newsom, making a “friendly” bet on who will win the World Series. “Here’s to a…tariff-free friendship,” they say #onpoli
With the Blue Jays heading to the World Series against the LA Dodgers, @CAgovernor Newsom and I have a friendly wager going. Win or lose, we’re thrilled to celebrate great baseball, good neighbours and a friendship between Ontario and California!
